Olive Garden Stuffed Mushrooms Copycat Recipe
Olive Garden Stuffed Mushrooms combine 3 different cheeses with veggies and hearty clams for a flavor-packed filling you can’t resist!
Ingredients
- 12-15 large cremini mushrooms*
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
For the filling:
- 1/4 cup onion finely chopped
- 1/4 cup bell pepper finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 6.5 ounce can minced clams drained
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- salt and pepper to taste
Cheese topping:
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated romano cheese
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Garnish
- fresh parsley chopped
- lemon wedges
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and carefully remove the stems. Chop the stems finely.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and butter. Sauté the chopped mushroom stems for about 3-5 minutes until they are softened.
- Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until they become translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add the minced clams, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Fill each mushroom cap generously with the stuffing mixture.
- Combine mozzarella, romano, and parmesan cheeses in a bowl. Sprinkle the cheese mixture over the stuffed mushrooms.
- Place the stuffed mushrooms in a small baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender. Broil for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking to achieve a golden brown finish. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side, if desired.
Notes
* If you use smaller mushrooms, you will have leftover filling and cheese topping to make more than 12. With smaller mushrooms, you can make about 24-30 stuffed mushrooms.
